Other animals played their own roles too, however often in more inventive smaller scale ways that required more training and farmers each had their own approaches, especially since when enlisting the aid of animals in plant farming was once popular not all the same animals lived in all the same regions of the world, so Nordic farmers had goats guard crops while Egyptians had eagles do the same very differently.
